STAC-M3 Benchmark Results: L Tick Database 1.0 on an Oxide OxVM Virtual Machine (Antuco Suite)
STAC Research, Thursday, October 15th, 2026
In STAC-M3's baseline Antuco suite, L tick database on an Oxide VM set a storage-efficiency record and led cloud deployments.
STAC's baseline Antuco suite measures performance under fixed conditions, and in it the L tick database 1.0 on a single 128-vCPU Oxide OxVM virtual machine achieved the highest storage efficiency of any published Antuco result, at 364%, or 1.86 times the previous best.
It beat all disclosed results on the 1T YRHIBID-2 benchmark by 1.81 times and was faster than all other cloud-based deployments in 11 of 17 mean-response-time tests.
Against a similar q-language stack on NVMe SSDs, it won 9 of 17 tests, including an 8.4x speedup on THEOPL.
